Guest Andrea Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Here we go again. Ya'll will probably get tired of me talkin about hurricanes and tropical storms. But they are forecasting this bad boy to come in almost exactly like Ivan. All the stores are out of generators already. But hey...the fishing is gonna be GREAT Saturday!!! If Dennis comes in during daylight hours.. I'll try to take some cool pics. If it comes in stronger than a Cat. 3, I won't be hanging around to take any pics!!!

Orion_70 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Better the pan handle than central fl. I had my fill from 3 last year.. I've got 2 generators Huntin Girl, if you want to drive to Orlando to borrow one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Gator....hey don't blame me!!!! I wish that were true, I'd take that sucker off and mail it to Taiwan. Orion...we have a generator thank goodness. I don't understand why people buy them then sell them once the season is over. Stupid, if you ask me. But thanks for the offer!!! Hope you guys are storm-free this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Hopefully my pretty boat stacker building will make it through... I'm not too concerned about sustained winds, it's the tornados that do most of the building damage. We also have one under construction in Sanibel. All you Floridans need to stand on the beach and blow.. maybe that'll change it's direction toward Mexico.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_218 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... I wish "Dennis" would come-up our way! We could use the rain as we're about 8" below normal on rainfall!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... My stomach is in knots this morning. The pressure on this thing is steadily dropping, which means it's building strength. I've never been thru anything worse than a Cat. 3. Opal was a 4 right before landfall but it was about like Ivan. Please pray that this thing weakens or turns away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Looks like he upgraded to Cat 4. My sister lives down in Florida. She is gearing up. Prayers are sent to everybody in the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Hmmmmm....strengthened now to 150 mph sustained winds. 5 more mph and it's a Cat 5. Hopefully when it crosses Cuba, it'll weaken a bunch. But the Gulf is SO WARM....it has nothing in its' way to stop it from building back up. Great.

Shutter Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Just classified as a Cat. 5 ! everyone breath in deep and blow to the east! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Well, gang....I'm gonna be headed out of here shortly. Hope to be able to get back with ya'll real soon. But if it all goes like expected...that might not be possible for a while. Please say a prayer for everyone here. People are evacuating like crazy. Boarding up windows. Buying gas like you wouldn't believe. We will most likely head to a shelter if it stays a Cat 4-5. Got to get home and empty water out of the pool, put up lawn furniture, move boats, etc., etc., I am located slightly east of Pensacola, so if you're watching the news or weather channel, you'll be able to see what we are dealing with. If it's not too bad, I'll try to take pics. Take care you guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Good news...they are now saying that this may not be a major storm after all. Thank goodness. Still watching and waiting though. We did manage to make a little fishing trip last night and I am posting the results in the catfishing contest thread.

Tominator Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Watching Dennis... Upgraded to Cat. 3 again, but they're saying the core winds are very small area. Looks like the storm is heading more west now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
